Boheman gives the whole of Caffraria as the habitat of this 

 species. This leads me to the belief that more than one species were 

 included by this author under this name. My examples are abso- 

 lutely similar to his co-type in the Stockholm Museum. 



SCHIZONYCHA QU^ESITA, n. Spec, 



Plate XLIIL, fig. 60. 



Black ; palpi, antennae, and tarsi piceous ; this species closely 

 resembles S. durbana, but it is a little more robust, and the shape of 

 the genital armature differs considerably ; clypeus blunt and plainly 

 sinuate in front, clypeal carina very little arcuate and having the 

 clypeal suture reaching nearly from side to side, the basal carina 

 is not sharp, and the surface of the head, with the exception of the 

 basal part, is covered with very closely set foveate punctures 

 separated by a narrow interval ; prothorax ampliated and rounded 

 laterally near the median part and closely serrate, covered with 

 deeply cicatricose, elongate punctures very closely set and somewhat 

 asperous in the anterior part, but separated in the discoidal by a 

 space nearly equal to their own diameter, in the central part there is 

 a smooth, somewhat plainly visible longitudinal band, and the trans- 

 verse supra-basal fold is conspicuous and smooth ; scutellum with 

 two lateral series of broad punctures ; elytra covered with somewhat 

 deep punctures separated from each other by a space equal to their 

 own diameter, and bearing like those on the head and prothorax a 

 minute greyish hair ; pygidium deeply but not very closely punc- 

 tate ; tarsi moderately long, the hind ones of the female a little shorter 

 than those of the male, upper part of the claw very long and more 

 robust than the lower which is nearly median ; penultimate 

 abdominal segment not broader than the preceding one, last seg- 

 ment somewhat broad, not swollen. 



Length 13J-14 mm. ; width 7-J-8 mm.
